JOB DESCRIPTION

About the Opportunity   

• The Operations Division is reimagining how knowledge supports people in the flow of their work. We're seeking an Operations Knowledge Author to create and maintain high-quality, actionable content that equips our Operations teams to deliver efficient processes and exceptional customer experiences.  
• You will transform information from over 15 internal and external platforms into clear, structured knowledge that helps Operations teams support our customers throughout their journey. This includes developing and updating content in sync with planned product releases, ensuring Operations teams are ready with accurate, validated knowledge at launch. 
• This role applies a "knowledge-as-data" mindset--developing structured, modular content that integrates directly into operational systems, workflows, and tools, ensuring the right information is available at the right time. You'll also help shape the future of how we create and manage knowledge--applying modern authoring techniques to increase efficiency, accuracy, and consistency at scale.  
• Working closely with subject matter experts, technology, program, and product management, you'll ensure our knowledge ecosystem stays current, connected, and ready to evolve with our digital operations delivery model. 

In this role, you will:

• Translate complex, technical, or policy-driven information into clear, user-friendly content for diverse audiences. 
• Develop and maintain content aligned with upcoming product and program releases, ensuring Operations has the right information at the right time to support customers. 
• Consolidate and synthesize information from multiple products and platforms into unified, searchable, easy-to-navigate knowledge assets. 
• Collaborate with subject matter experts to document key procedures, best practices, and lessons learned. 

Content Quality, Structure and Governance (30%) 

• Tag, classify, and maintain knowledge content using defined metadata and governance standards to improve searchability and consistency. 
• Participate in routine content audits to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and lifecycle compliance.  
• Track and report on content health metrics such as review completion, update frequency, and accuracy scores. 
• Recommend and implement improvements to templates, structure, or workflows based on analytics and user feedback 

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement (20%) 

• Partner with the Knowledge Manager to align content with governance policies and lifecycle workflows. 
• Participate in release-readiness planning to ensure that new or updated knowledge content is developed and validated prior to launches. 
• Ensure published knowledge content is optimized for search and accessibility. 
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives including AI-assisted authoring approaches for efficiency. 
• Engage in authoring communities of practice to share insights, improve standards, and strengthen the knowledge authoring discipline within Operations.
